The series starts strong, setting up a murky world where family, business, and crime collide. It has all the ingredients of a good thriller: tension, betrayal, and characters trapped in moral dilemmas. However, as it moves forward, it feels like the wrapping is more powerful than the story it’s actually telling.
Jason Bateman and Jude Law carry much of the weight with intense performances, and visually the production is impeccable, with that prestige-drama look Netflix aims for. But beneath the polished surface, it often feels hollow, as if the story circles around without fully biting into its own potential.
There are, of course, highlights — gripping moments and a finale that leaves its mark. The problem lies in the journey: some episodes drag on and dilute the initial tension.
In the end, Black Rabbit stands as an attractive thriller with shiny packaging and solid acting, but one that doesn’t quite push its premise as far as it could. It’s entertaining, engaging in parts, but ultimately leaves you wishing for more.
